A BALLOON PROPELLED BY AN ELECTRIC

Scarcely town or settlement escaped. Only
three fatalities are reported, but many were
seriously injured. There was no cyclone,

The RATS WEAPoN5.-The rat is finely
equipped for the peculiar life he is ordained
to lead. He has strong weapons in the
shape Of four long and very sharp teeth
two in the upper jaw and two in tho lower.
These teeth are wedge.shaped, and by a
wonderful provision of nature have always
q fine, sharp, cutting edge. On examining
them carefully, the inner part is found to be
of q soft, ivory-like composition, which can
easily be worn away, and the outside is
composed Of glass-lke enamel, which is
exceedingly hard. The upper teeth work
into the under 80 that the centres of the op
posed teeth meet perfectly in the act Of
enawng, hence the soft part is being con-
tinua|y worn away, while the hard part
keeps a sharp, chisel-like edge all the
time, and at the same time the teeth are
constantly growing up from the bottom, so
that as they wear away fresh supply is
ready. Should one of these teeth be re.
moved by accident or otherwise, the oppos.
ing tooth will continue to grow, and there
being nothing to wear it away, it will pro.
ject from the mouth and be turned upon
itself, and il it be an under tooth it will
grow SO long as to penetrate the skull.

EX.EMPREss EUGENIE.-No figure OF con-
temporary life is more interesting than
Eugene, ex-empress of the French. De.
throned, widowed and chidless, the lone
illness and pathos of her old age contrast
sadly with the splendor of her early years
on the throne. One Of our American writer's
said of her in her days of glory: "She is the
prettiest woman, with the least sense, in all
Europe" Her education was as limited as
her toilets were SPLENDID and extravagant.
She always had at hand more than 800
gowns, and parasols, fans, furs, aces and
other toilet adjuncts beyond number.
Throughout her married life she received in
monthly payments pin money to the amount
OF $2l0, 0G0 q year, and spent it TO the
last franc. When she fled from the Tuil-
leres she left everything but her jewels,
and they would not have been saved had it
not been for the efforts Of Nine Carette, one
Of her ladies in waiting. The ex empress
has oDo possession supposed to be able TO
make any ones life somewhat fair, if not
happy and thai is money. She is one of
the richest women in Europe Her revenue
comes from three sources-the insurance on
the Emperor's life, the product Of savings
and speculations, and the real estate she
bought in her own name when on the
throne. She has estates in Spain, Switzer.

she acquires properties near Trieste and in

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May Z, 1887.
In talk with the GAZETTE's corresponds
emit, this morning, at the metropolitan Ho'
tel, about General Sheridan's late interview
on his letter, General Rosser said: "Sheri-

atone for his barbarous, uncivized and I'm.
soldierly acts committed during the war,

the Valley might have been regarded as
military nececessity, to enable him, with
force of five Federals to one Confederate, to
cope successfully with his adversary,
but if such had been the case, could
that end not have been as successfully
reached by removing those supplies
from the barns and mills, that they might
have been destroyed without destroying the
buildings? Was it military necessity to
destroy the dwellings which sheltered the
defenseless and the feeble for the sake of
the destruction of few bushels of grain or
few bundles of straw or hay? 1t is true
